JOHN WHEELER ELLIOT, OF TORONTO, CANADA.

IMPROVEMENT IN STOVES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 1 66,921, dated August24, 1875; application filed April 30, 1875.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN WHEELER EL- LIOT, of the city of Toronto, inthe county of York, in the Province of Ontario, Canada, surgeon-dentist,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stoves, of whichthe following is a specification:

The objects of my invention are, first, to provide a simple andeffective evaporator for stoves; second, to provide a simple hot-airchamber, from which the heated air when moistened, as hereafterspecified, may be conconveyed through the house.

An improved mica light, which can be removed and replaced without damageto itself, is herein shown and described, but which does not form a partof my present invention, but may form the subject of a subsequentapplication.

The first object is secured by placing on the pivoted cover of the stovea water-reservoir with a pipe leading from it into a pocket or scabbardwithin the body of the stove, which pipe serves as the pivot for thecover, and. at the same time, by admitting the water within the body ofthe stove, provides a simple and effectual means for causing the waterwithin the reservoir to evaporate as desired. The second object isattained by forming, as shown in drawing, a chamber between thefeeding-funnel and the out-side skin of stove, which latter isperforated-around the bottom of the chamher for admitting heated air,which ascends the pipe into which steam is admitted, as hereafterspecified.

In order to make the mica lights as serviceable as possible, I place ametal tip on each piece, as shown.

Figure 1, sectional elevation of stove complete; Fig. 2, detail ofreservoir; Fig. 3, de-

tail of mica light; Figs. 4 and 5, enlarged sectional views, showing howthe mica is fitted into stove.

A is the water-reservoir, forming at the same time acover to the stoveB. O is a pipe attached to a leading and from the reservoir A into theinterior of the stove. This pipe fits into a pocket or scabbard, D,which holds the pipe 0 in position, making it a pivot for thereservoir-cover A. E is a chamber immediately above the fire-pot andbetween the feeding-funnel F and outside skin G of the stove. H are theair-holes leading into the chamber E. I is the hot-pipe for conveyingthe hot air from the chamber E through the house, as required. J is asteam-pipe leading from the interior of the reservoir A to that of thepipe I.' This steam-pipe is attached to the cover K of the reservoir A,but is only swung or slipped into a hole in the pipe I, so that thecover K can be readily removed instead of having a number of doorsaround the stove.

I have simply micalights L sprung in between the ribs to and I). Inorder that these lights may be easily handled, and without beingdamaged, I rivet at the top of each light a metal tip, M, with a knob,m, projecting from it, as shown.

After the foregoing description of the nature, object, and generalconstruction of the invention, its operation will readily be per-'ceived by reference to the drawing. Suffice it to say that so long asthere is any water in the reservoir A the pipe 0 will be full, and whilethere is fire in the stove the column of water thus held within it willbe kept boiling, and consequently the water in ,the reservoir soonbecomes in a similar condition, and throw ing off vapor through theperforations in the top of the cover K, and through the steampipe J intothe hot-air pipe I, the air is moistened as desired, both in the roomoccupied by the stove and the portions of the house heated by the hotair from the pipe I.

What I claim as my invention is- 1. The water-reservoir A, pivoted bythe pipe 0, in combination with the pocket or scabbard D, substantiallyas specified.

2. The water-reservoir A, in combination with the steam-pipe J, andhot-air pipe I, arranged substantially as and for the purpose specified.
